Calculating Alimony in New Jersey
When determining alimony, the goal of the court is to ensure that each spouse maintains a standard of living similar to what they enjoyed while married. There is not one single formula that New Jersey courts use to decide upon and award alimony. Instead, there is a loose set of guidelines suggesting factors that may be considered in determination.
These factors include:
- The length of the marriage
- The marital lifestyle the couple enjoyed
- The income of both spouses
- The anticipated post-divorce expenses
- Each spouse’s educational level
- Each spouse’s employment history and future employment opportunities
- Other financial obligations, such as child support
